The main difference between black and white rhinos is the shape of their mouths – white rhinos have broad flat lips for grazing, whereas black rhinos have long pointed lips for eating foliage. There are two living Rhinocerotini species, the Indian rhinoceros and the Javan rhinoceros, which diverged from one another about 10 million years ago.
The white rhinoceros is quick and agile and can run 50 km/h (31 mph). White rhinos live in crashes or herds of up to 14 animals (usually mostly cows). Sub-adult bulls will congregate, often in association with an adult cow. Most adult bulls are solitary. Dominant bulls mark their territory with excrement and urine. [39]
The white rhinoceros is the largest living perissodactyl. Perissodactyla (/ p ə ˌ r ɪ s oʊ ˈ d æ k t ɪ l ə /, from Ancient Greek περισσός, perissós 'odd' and δάκτυλος, dáktylos 'finger, toe' [3]), or odd-toed ungulates, is an order of ungulates.
A northern white rhinoceros near the equator during translocation to Ol Pejeta Conservancy. One of the northern white rhinos translocated to Ol Pejeta was living in a semiwild state. 2014 VOA report about the last three individuals. There are now only two northern white rhinos left in the world: Najin, a female, was born in captivity in 1989.
A southern white rhino pair at Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, Zambia. The southern white rhino lives in the grasslands, savannahs, and shrublands of southern Africa, ranging from South Africa to Zambia. About 98.5% of southern white rhino live in just five countries: South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Uganda.

The Indian rhinoceros (Rhinoceros unicornis) is also known as the greater one-horned rhinoceros, great Indian rhinoceros and Indian rhino. It is the second largest living rhinoceros species, with adult males weighing 2.07–2.2 t (2.04–2.17 long tons; 2.28–2.43 short tons) and adult females 1.6 t (1.6 long tons; 1.8 short tons).
The common ancestor of Boreoeutheria lived between 107 and 90 million years ago. [9] The concept of a boreoeutherian ancestor was first proposed in 2004 in the journal Genome Research . [ 11 ] [ 12 ] The paper's authors claimed that the genome sequence of the boreoeutherian ancestor could be computationally predicted with 98% accuracy, but ...
